Answer:

x = 8 or

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em>Completing The Square</em><em>:</em></h2>

x² - 6x - 16 = 0

Here,

a = 1

b = -6

c = -16

Now,

x² - 6x + [6/2(1)]² - [6/2(1)]² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (6/2)² - (6/2)² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (3)² - (3)² - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 9 - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 25 = 0

(x - 3)² = 25

x - 3 = +-√25

x - 3 = +- 5

x = 3 +- 5

x = 3 + 5 or x = 3 - 5

<em><u>x = 8 or x = -2</u></em>

Hope it's helpful

The answer should not depend on which machine or which pencil you use to
find it.  If you work a problem two different ways and get two different answers,
then at least one of them is wrong, and there's a pretty good chance that both
of them are.

(9.99 of anything) + (1.11 of the same thing) = 11.1 of them

9.99 (x 10^-2) + 1.11 (x 10^-2) = <em>11.1 (x 10^-2)</em> .

Can we do any more with that ?

10^-2  =  1 / 10^2  =  1 / 100 .

11.1 x 10^-2  =  11.1 / 100  =  <em>0.111</em>
